What you'll do

• Design, implement, and test advanced algorithms for fast solutions of Maxwell equations on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
• Leverage both multi-CPU and GPU platforms to run and optimize multi-physics simulations.
• Apply finite difference, finite element, and spectral methods along with associated linear algebra solvers for partial differential equations.
• Participate in collaborative software development practices, including code review, automated testing, and deployment.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree with 5 years of related work experience, Master's degree with 3 years of related work experience, or a Doctorate degree with 0 years of experience.
• Experience with numerical techniques for solving partial differential equations, including finite difference, finite element, or spectral methods.
• Knowledge of linear algebra solvers applied to computational physics problems.
• Familiarity with high-performance computing (HPC) clusters using multi-CPU architectures.

Nice to have

• Experience with CUDA or other GPU programming frameworks for accelerating and optimizing multi-physics simulations.
• Familiarity with Fourier optics.
• Experience with collaborative software development practices such as code review, automated testing, and deployment.

Skills: Maxwell equations, HPC, GPU, CUDA, partial differential equations, finite element
